delegation and makes certain showings
regarding its authority and ability to
implement the program. One such
delegate agency for the part 71 program
exists at present.
In order to receive an operating
permit for a major or other source
subject to either of the permitting
programs, the applicant must conduct
the necessary research, perform the
appropriate analyses and prepare the
permit application with documentation
to demonstrate that its facility meets all
applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements. Specific activities and
requirements are listed and described in
the Supporting Statements for the two
ICRs.
State and local agencies under part 70
and the EPA (or a delegate agency)
under part 71 review permit
applications, provide for public review
of proposed permits, issue permits
based on consideration of all technical
factors and public input, and review
information submittals required of
sources during the term of the permit.
Also, under part 70, the EPA reviews
certain actions of the state and local
agencies and provides oversight of the
programs to ensure that they are being
adequately implemented and enforced.
Under part 71, the EPA reviews certain
actions and performs oversight for any
delegate agency, consistent with the
terms of a delegation agreement.
Consequently, information prepared and
submitted by sources is essential for
sources to receive permits, and for
federal, state, local and tribal permitting
agencies to adequately review the
permit applications and thereby
properly administer and manage the
program.
Since the previous renewal of this
ICR, the EPA has promulgated two
changes to the part 70 and 71
regulations: the Flexible Air Permits
rule and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Tailoring rule. The first rule provides a
mechanism for sources to establish
provisions in their operating permits
that result in fewer permit revisions
necessary during the term of the permit;
the second establishes levels where
GHG emissions trigger permitting
requirements. The information
collection requirements for these
regulatory revisions were approved by
the OMB after the approval of the 2007
ICR renewals, and those approved
changes are included and updated in
these ICR renewals. Also, the previous
part 71 ICR renewal identifed the EPA
as the sole permitting authority, while
this part 71 renewal identifies the EPA
and one delegate agency, the Navaho
Nation, as permitting authorities (the
EPA continues to serve as a permitting
authority in all areas, while the delegate
agency serves as a permitting authority
in a limited portion of Indian country).
Burden Statement: Burden means the
total time, effort or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain or disclose or provide
information to or for a federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install
and utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating
and verifying information, processing
and maintaining information and
disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements which have
subsequently changed; train personnel
to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for the collection
of information under parts 70 and 71 is
broken down as follows:

a Only delegate agency burden is shown for part 71.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Industrial plants (sources); state, local
and tribal permitting authorities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
For part 70 there are 15,940 sources and
112 state and local permitting
authorities. For part 71 there are 174
industry sources and 1 tribal delegate
permitting authority. (The EPA serves as
a permitting authority but, as a federal
agency, is not a respondent.)
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
For part 70, the total annual burden for
sources and state and local permitting
authorities is 5,313,686 hours. For part
71, the total annual burden for sources
and the one delegate agency (tribal) is
37,629 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: For part
70, the total annual cost for sources and
state and local permitting authorities is
$322,734,860. For part 71, the total
annual cost for sources and the one

delegate agency (tribal) is $2,393,171. In
both cases, all costs are labor costs;
there are no capital, startup or operating
and maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: Since the
last renewal of the part 70 ICR (in 2007),
there is an decrease of about 199,000
hours (or nearly a 5 percent decrease) of
annual respondent burden. This change
is primarily due to an updated estimate
of the number of permits expected.
Since the last renewal of the part 71
ICR (in 2007), there is an increase of
over 10,000 hours of total annual
respondent burden (about a 38 percent
increase). This is primarily due to an
updated estimate of the number of
permits expected.

Title: National Emissions Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Nine Metal Fabrication and
Finishing Area Sources (Renewal)
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
2298.03, OMB Control Number 2060–
0622
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on April 31, 2012. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB.
Abstract: The affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
General Provisions specified at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart XXXXXX.
These regulations apply to owners or
operators of any existing or new metal
fabrication and finishing facility that is
an area source of hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emissions and uses or
has the potential to emit metal
fabrication or finishing metal HAP
(MFHAP), defined to be the compounds
of cadmium, chromium, lead,
manganese, and nickel, or any of these
metals in the elemental form with the
exception of lead.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial
notification, annual compliance
certifications (which include annual
reports of exceedences if any have
occurred.) Owners or operators are also
required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any
period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. Reports, at a
minimum, are required semiannually.
All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that
there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX,
PO 00000
Frm 00034

Sfmt 4703
as authorized in section 112 and 114(a)
of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control
Numbers for the EPA regulations are
listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR
chapter 15, and are identified on the
form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 11 hours per
response. ‘‘Burden’’ means the total
time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install,
and utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating,
and verifying information, processing
and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements which have
subsequently changed; train personnel
to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of nine metal
fabrication and finishing area sources.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,933.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
20,562.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,972,260, which includes $1,972,260
in labor costs; there are no capital/
startup or operating and maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in the total costs as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not
due to any program changes. The
change in the cost estimates occurred
due to the most updated labor rates for
both respondents and the Agency.
Despite the increase in burden costs,
there is a decrease in the labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR
due to a mathematical error in

Title: National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Nine Metal Fabrication and Finishing Area Sources
(Renewal)
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2298.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0622
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 31, 2012.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart XXXXXX.
These regulations apply to owners or operators of any existing or
new metal fabrication and finishing facility that is an area source of
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions and uses or has the potential
to emit metal fabrication or finishing metal HAP (MFHAP), defined to be
the compounds of cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, and nickel, or any
of these metals in the elemental form with the exception of lead.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial
notification, annual compliance certifications (which include annual
reports of exceedences if any have occurred.) Owners or operators are
also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX, as
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data and other information that have
been determined to be private.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for the EPA
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 11
hours per response. ``Burden'' means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,

transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of nine metal
fabrication and finishing area sources.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,933.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,562.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,972,260, which includes $1,972,260
in labor costs; there are no capital/startup or operating and
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total costs
as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This
increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the cost
estimates occurred due to the most updated labor rates for both
respondents and the Agency. Despite the increase in burden costs, there
is a decrease in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous
ICR due to a mathematical error in
[[Page 24705]]
determining the person-hours per respondent.
